Adobe Grill — Restaurant in La Quinta

Enjoyed some delicious drinks and appetizers here with my husband on a Friday evening. There is plenty of ample seating outdoors, so social distancing is definitely not an issue.

We both had the grande Cadillac margarita, and the word “grande” is actually appropriate in this scenario - they’re huge! (and quite tasty too) We also had the empanadas and the queso fundido. Both were good, but could definitely have done with a little bit of heat, but then, I really like spicy food, so that’s probably just my personal opinion.

We mentioned to our server, Jenna, that we were both wanting something a little spicier, so she offered to bring out some of their habanero salsa, which they only bring out to the table by request since it is rather hot. Her suggestion was mixing both the regular salsa (great flavor, no heat) with the habanero salsa (lots of heat, not big on flavor), and she was spot on! If you like spicy salsa, you should definitely request the habanero salsa and mix the two. The combo is delicious. Thanks for the tip, Jenna!

One more thing I wanted to say about this place is another shout out to our server. I realized the next evening that I had left my favorite jacket at the restaurant the night before, hanging on the back of my chair. I was devastated because I love that jacket and was so worried that it could be gone. I tried calling the restaurant and couldn’t get through to them. So my husband and I drove by there in person and let them know what had happened and asked if they still had my jacket. They knew exactly what I was taking about. Jenna saw it when we left, and put it somewhere safe so that it would be there whenever I came back. This might seem like a tiny gesture to some people, but did I mention this was my FAVORITE jacket? Oh I did? Okay, just making sure. ;) So once again, thank you,...

Restaurant Review: Adobe Grill - La Quinta Resort & Club

During my recent visit to La Quinta Resort & Club, I had the pleasure of dining at Adobe Grill, a vibrant spot known for its Mexican cuisine. The experience was a delightful blend of flavor and ambiance, making it a memorable part of my trip.

First and foremost, the Mexican food served at Adobe Grill was quite good. Each dish showcased a balance of traditional flavors and contemporary twists, reflecting a deep respect for Mexican culinary heritage. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation of each dish was visually appealing, adding to the overall dining experience.

The margaritas deserve a special mention. They were not only tasty but also well-crafted, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. It's a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy a classic Mexican cocktail with a modern flair.

Regarding my likelihood of revisiting, I would certainly say yes. The Adobe Grill offers a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience that calls for repeat visits. However, in the spirit of honesty, while the food was good, I must admit that I have had better Mexican cuisine elsewhere. This is not to say that Adobe Grill doesn't have its unique charm and quality, but rather an acknowledgment of the diverse landscape of Mexican culinary offerings out there.

The staff at Adobe Grill deserves a round of applause. Their attentiveness and professionalism were notable. They were prompt, courteous, and had a great knowledge of the menu, which helped in making informed choices. Their service greatly enhanced the...

We love coming here for dinner when we stay at La Quinta. We were excited for dinner after a long day relaxing by the pool. We got 8:15pm reservations so we would have enough time to get ready. We were running early so we checked in to see if there was any chance to eat earlier. We were told that they were really busy so our 8:15 was the earliest.

We were told to head to one of the three bars to grab a drink which sounded refreshing. They pointed out the bars so we walked to the middle bar only to be told we had to go inside to order drinks.

The bartender inside was super friendly and made us some bomb margaritas. We headed out to the patio to drink them while we waited and filled up on chips and salsa.

At 8pm we went back down to check in again, just to make sure we were good for our reservation. We were told they would text us when they were ready, so we returned to the bar to wait.

At 8:30pm we went back to check in, only to be told there were 4 tables ahead of us and it would be another 25 minutes!! Not cool.

After a few minutes we were given a great table and seated for dinner.

We were eating so late we mostly ordered appetizers and salads. Food was good but we had to keep asking for items like plates, silverware, salad dressing. Not the service we are used to.

The ambiance is great here, the music is great for dining, and we will definitely be back but this experience was not a 5 star service...
